Management Strategies for Tarnished Plant Bug Host Plant Manipulation Minimize “edge effects” Variety Selection Correct Nozzle Selection Rotate Chemistry Shorten Spray Intervals During High Pressure Sampling Procedures

Rotate Chemistry Number/6 ft. 5 days 11 days
17
Shorten Spray Intervals During High Pressure Percent Nymphs/6 ft. Pre-treatment 4 DAT with Orthene (0.5 lb)

Shorten Spray Intervals During High Pressure abc lbs seed cotton/acre Week 1 = 35.6/100 Sweeps Week 2 = 37/100 Sweeps Week 3 = 49.6/100 Sweeps Week 4 = 17/100 Sweeps Week 1 = 29.6/100 Sweeps Week 2 = 32.5/100 Sweeps Week 3 = 45.6/100 Sweeps Week 4 = 19.5/100 Sweeps Week 1 = 29/100 Sweeps Week 2 = 32.6/100 Sweeps Week 3 = 52.6/100 Sweeps Week 4 = 47.6/100 Sweeps *Underlined indicates plots were sprayed*
